Comments:

• The draw used ball set 8 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £19.68. One in every 43.8 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.28% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,728,327.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 2 wins totalling £20.
• The numbers 5 and 44 simultaneously broke clear of the chasing pack with their 13th appearances as a main number. This also allowed the number 5 to stretch its lead to two over other numbers if the bonus ball is taken into consideration with a remarkable 17th appearance as one of the seven numbers drawn.
• The numbers 7, 35 and 44 also appeared in Lottery #50, whilst the numbers 5, 7 and 44 made an appearance in Lottery #33 as well.
• There's now been over £2 billion of prizes awarded since the lottery began.
• Two matches for me this week - as good as Paul McKenna, who "suggested" the numbers 40, 16, 24, 42, 36, 7 and a bonus of 2 (yep, no ball in the correct position) on his ITV show on Monday night. This gave him 3 out of the 7 balls if you ignore the order, although only 2 out of the 6 if you exclude the bonus number (which you can't buy on a ticket of course). The "experiment" involved McKenna picking 7 numbers at random and then telling the TV viewers to "think hard about the numbers" he'd picked when the draw was made on Saturday ! If you think you can influence the lottery balls by mind control, please check yourself into the nearest mental institution...you need serious help. :-)
• £871,460 of unclaimed prizes (2.62% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 22nd August 1996 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
